Narges: Our pressure is helping!

BREAKING: Iran has allowed Nobel Peace Laureate Narges Mohammadi to see her private medical team in Tehran’s top hospital, a major breakthrough won with global pressure. But the regime could still send her back to prison. Below is our message from last week – add your name and push for her full release! Sign the petition URGENT: Iranian Nobel Peace Laureate Narges Mohammadi was just rushed to hospital in critical condition – but without massive pressure, she could soon be dragged back to an Iranian jail. After brutal beatings, a hunger strike, and a heart attack, she needs unconditional medical leave – and fragile peace talks give us leverage to win her release. Sign now to help free Narges before it’s too late: Iranian Nobel Peace Laureate Narges Mohammadi has fearlessly defended women’s rights, fought bravely to stop executions, and inspired millions in her country and around the world. Her activism has seen her thrown into jail by the Iranian regime – and now her life hangs by a thread. When she was arrested in December, she was brutally beaten and has since suffered a suspected heart attack. She’s been transferred to the hospital in critical condition, and a return to jail could kill her. But together, we could help win her freedom. Global pressure has helped free prisoners in Iran before, and a massive burst of public attention now could push Tehran to free Narges. Time is running out – we need to make this huge. Add your name now, share with everyone you know, and let’s raise a massive call of solidarity for Narges, along with all Iran’s political prisoners.

Re: A question for Terezinha

I hope you don't mind me personally reaching out again. This is urgent and I hope you can help. As you read this, we’re funding the only food aid available for thousands of families in parts of Sudan. We’re reviving farmlands and rushing emergency aid into Gaza. And we’re fuelling a court case against one of the worst oil pipelines on the planet. So I’m making a special appeal -- asking millions of Avaaz members to help rapidly scale this life-saving work, because it directly affects how much we can do in the critical months ahead. Terezinha, you are one of Avaaz's most active members. Now can you take the next step and become a regular donor? I'm asking you to help fund the protests, direct action, research, and advocacy that we believe will change the world in 2026. When our leaders bury their heads in the sand, and far-right tyrants bomb our world to bits, your support enables us to show up with real power. We cannot do it without you. A regular donation doesn't need to be big -- but consistent support will make a massive difference. If you can, chip in now to power Avaaz:

URGENT: She could die in prison

Nobel peace laureate Narges Mohammadi could die in prison. After brutal beatings, a hunger strike, and now a suspected heart attack, she's been rushed to hospital in critical condition – but without massive pressure, she could be dragged straight back behind bars. Sign now to demand her urgent release — before it's too late. Narges Mohammadi risked everything to defend women’s rights and stop horrific executions in Iran. Now her life is in danger. After years of imprisonment, brutal beatings and abuse, Narges has been rushed to hospital, her chest screaming with pain after a suspected heart attack. Her family fears she could be sent back to prison before she gets the long-term care she urgently needs. But we have a rare moment to push for her freedom: Iran is trying to stabilize a fragile ceasefire, and key governments can press for Narges’ medical leave as a show of goodwill during peace talks – before it's too late. Add your name now and when our call is massive, we’ll push governments to demand immediate and unconditional medical leave for Narges — and freedom for all Iran’s political prisoners:
